'True Blood' Arlene 'is more vulnerable'

Carrie Preston has revealed that her True Blood character Arlene is more "vulnerable" in the new season.

Speaking to Zap2It, Preston admitted that she enjoyed playing a different side to the waitress.

"My character is definitely grappling with something she wasn't ready for, so that's been interesting," she said.

"It's been a fun season for me, because my character has really been able to... they've given me some fun and more vulnerable types of scenes than the sort of funny-funny that I usually get. I think it's true for all the characters - they're really starting to give us a little more deepening. We're getting a little more intimate with the series regulars."
